    Nice article. Thought about putting it on github /gitlab? It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on non flatpak for steam and flatpak for heroic.

      Thought about putting it on github /gitlab?

      I’m not opposed to it, but is there demand for it to be on GitHub?

      It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on non flatpak for steam and flatpak for heroic.

      Steam’s Flatpak version has some issues, the way it’s sandboxed causes things to not work as it should. I’ve seen people complain about controllers not being detected via Steam Input, confusion around permissions, minor bugs among other things. There’s really no reason to use that instead of your package manager.

      On the other hand, Heroic actually recommends the Flatpak by default since it’s stable, has no issues, isn’t distro-dependent, etc. There’s no reason not to use it instead of your package manager.

        There is! These sort of guides are best suited to be hosted at Github/lab because of their dynamic nature. Any recommendations and “best practice” today might easily become outdated tomorrow in this fast-moving Linux world! Plus you can have contributors too submitting corrections and updates (if you wish to merge 'em), so you’re not left alone doing all the work.

        Here’s an example of one such guide I’ve used in the past that’s still being updated:
